LX450 Auxiliary Fusebox:
The MegaFuse block mounted on the back wall of the battery box. The cable runs in split loom under the charcoal canister and ABS unit.
Additional loom was added where the cable goes under the ABS unit. Clamps hold everything solidly in place.
The 80 amp fuse is the max for this fuse block. Once in position, the fuse is clamped firmly in place by the two large screws that secure the power cables to the bottom of the block. I used silicone dielectric grease on the fuse terminals to keep out moisture.
There's a lot shown in this picture. The aux fuse box is a CirkitBoss 7-circuit sealed box, with 3 switched and 4 hot circuits. Each powered circuit is rated at 20 amps and has a 14 AWG pigtail about 12 inches long. The fuse box protects the following circuits: aux lights01 relay control 5 amps, trailer brakes 20 amps, aux 12 volt power receptacle 10 amps, CB radio 5 amps, aux back up light 10 amps.
The self-resetting circuit breakers protect the following circuits: CirkitBoss main power feed 30 amps, trailer battery charge 30 amps, headlight relays 30 amps, aux lights01 relays 20 amps, aux lights02 relays 20 amps (spare, for future use).
The power stud is unrated - it distributes power to all the other points. If I can locate some thick copper buss material I will eliminate many of the fat wires from this post, which will be much more satisfactory and also look better.
The 6-screw terminal strip provides easy hookup and troubleshooting for the circuits feeding out of the CirkitBoss. It was a tight fit on the lip of the firewall, but it works fine.
The wires feed easily through the existing rubber grommet on the firewall below the assembly.
Splash shield: the material is thick sheet neoprene from the hardware store. I loosened the screws holding the front edge of the vent/ windshield wiper access panel and pushed the rear edge of the neoprene underneath. No other fasteners were needed. To access the wiring, simply flip up the cover - the back of the hood holds it out of the way. I intend to coat all terminals with "liquid electrical tape" to further seal out moisture.
